The Next Chapter

How it works

Built on a whole-body, root-cause approach, The Next Chapter goes deeper—focusing on the systems most impacted during this phase of life, including hormones, metabolism, gut health, and the nervous system.

Rather than looking at each in isolation, we focus on how these systems work together. Because during perimenopause, it’s rarely “just hormones”—it’s how hormones interact with your gut, stress response, sleep, and metabolism that shapes how you feel.

Our Process

Our work together follows three phases: Evaluation, Recommendation, and Optimization.

This is a 12-week therapeutic partnership, designed to meet you where you are—especially if your body is no longer responding the way it once did. 

Phase I: Evaluation

We take a deep dive to understand your unique physiology, health history, and how your body is responding to hormonal and metabolic shifts.

  • Comprehensive intake form (health history, lifestyle, goals)

  • Food, mood, and digestion journal (to identify patterns in energy, cravings, and blood sugar)

  • Sleep diary (to assess quality, disruptions, and recovery)

  • Functional lab testing (e.g., stool and micronutrient analysis + fasting insulin)

  • Session 1: 60-minute virtual consultation to map your Functional Nutrition Matrix and review findings

Phase II: Recommendation

You’ll receive a fully personalized, bio-individual plan designed to support your body’s healing—with a strong focus on metabolic and hormonal balance.

  • Customized nutrition and supplement protocol (with emphasis on metabolic health, including blood sugar balance, protein intake, and inflammation support)

  • Nutrition guidance that evolves with you (adjusting based on energy, hunger, cravings, sleep, and lifestyle patterns)

  • Recovery strategies (sleep + stress support)

  • Gut restoration plan (supporting digestion and hormone metabolism)

  • Movement goals (focused on strength, muscle, and metabolic health)

  • Targeted strategies for symptom support (energy, sleep, mood, body composition)

  • Additional testing recommendations (including metabolic markers when appropriate)

  • Session 2: 60-minute virtual consultation to review and implement your plan

Phase III: Optimization

This is where we refine, adjust, and build momentum—as your body shifts, your plan evolves with it.

  • Four 30-minute check-ins (every two weeks)

  • Additional touchpoints/support between sessions as needed

  • Ongoing adjustments based on your progress, symptoms, and goals

  • Personalized guidance, accountability, and education

This phase is all about partnership—continuously optimizing what’s working so you can feel more stable, energized, and confident in your body.
